(More customer reviews)I got the DM-100 for the front door of my condominium. They say only that the DM-150 is for exterior doors but a representative from the Skylink told me that the DM-100 and DM-150 are exactly the same, except one comes with the electromagnetic lock while the other comes with the electric strike. The DM-150 cost more and with a high probability that you have to hire a professional to install the electric strike that would increase the cost significantly. So I went with the DM-100 with the electromagnetic lock.
The installation was really difficult and took over four hours. Admittedly part of this had to do with my father, who is impatient and gets frustrated very easily, but there are also a few parts of the installation guide that could have been more clear. There is both a QuickStart installation guide and a full manual and there were some slight discrepancies between the two which added to the confusion. But for the most part I thought the instructions were pretty clear. Your mileage may vary.
Once it was finally done it does work quite well. I also got the wireless keypad for outside my door and the wireless button for inside and they were both very easy to set up. The electromagnetic lock holds the door shut quite well although I wouldn't depend on it to keep your home secure. Apparently you can buy third-party electromagnetic locks and add them to the set up for more security but the one that comes with the DM-100 is enough for me. Although the latch is now disabled on my front door the deadbolt still remains so my front door is still quite secure when it needs to be. Unlocking the door wasn't my problem. Opening and closing it was. But now thanks to the DM-100 that issue is solved, and at a pretty reasonable price. I've looked around and you won't find a more cost-effective solution for an electric door opener.
So this is definitely worth a look if you think you might need something like this.
